Gyro resetting and recalling?

We have a very odd occurrence going on with our robot.

First, I modified the gyro code that that it locks out the other routines while calibrating (just to stop over-eager folks on our team from driving in practice mode while the gyro is calibrating).

On occasion when we take a really hard hit, the gyro suddenly starts recalibrating itself and as a result the robot stops responding until the cal is complete.

Any idea why this might happen?
